- zurn 11y agoI definitely agree there is such a thing as censorship by non-government actors, but Facebook plays a very different role from Github. There's also a lot of uproar about Facebook and Twitter doing too little to weed out objectionable things. But it's still qualitatively different from government censorship, which is imposed on third party media.
